Said a railroad president yesterday: IA per
son under this interstate commerce bill who is
appointed one OF the commissioners will have
one of the most important positions in the gov
eminent service. hence it is very important tina
men OF large ability be appointed to the posi-
tions, and feeling prevails among those who
are most interested that salary of 81, 500 per
annum will not command men competent for the
important position of commissioner, arbitrator
ETC.. of all the troubles which will be constantly
arising" The impression is that the salary
should have been at least SIS, 600 a year.
Regarding the rumor that the Mackey syndi-
cate were to get control Of the Louisville, Ev-
ensville d St Louis Airline. the New Albany
Ledger says: '"Fhere is not the shadow of a
probability of the Mackey syndicate getting
control Of tho Airline. That syndicate al
ready has hold Of bear that it would be only
too happy to let go. If it had the ability fnan-
cially to gain control of the Air line 1t would
have done 30 when the road was sold under
foreclosure Few months ago. just now the
syndicate so-called, could not purchase even
the much berated 'Corydon branch railroad.'n
The are complaints of unusual delays In the
receipt OF freight over the Reading system.
Flour RECEIVERS in the East say that about two
hundred cars OF their goods are overdue and in
some cases shipments of -four are known to have
been on the road for about two months. One re-
ceiver 10 said to have one hundred carloads w.
ing at some point the company,s road, the
bulk of which should have been in store several
weeks ago. The delay is attributed to the disor-
eanzation of the Readings clerical and labor
service by recent reductions in working force
aud in wages, and to uncertainty among remain
ing employees as to the permanency of their posi-
tions with the company.

THE WILD RIDE.

Ihear in my heart, / hear in It's ominous pulses,
All day, the commotion Of sinewy, name tossing
horses;
All night, from their cells, the importunate
tramping and neighing!
towards and laggards fall back; but alert to the
saddle,
Straight, grim, and abreast, vault the weather
worn, galloping legion,
With a stirrup cup each to the one gracious
woman that loves him.
The road is thro' dolor and dread, over crags and
morasses:
There are shapes by the way, there are things
that appall or entice us:
What oddsf We are knights; and our souls are
but bent on the riding.
1 hear In my heart, l hear in its ominous pulses,
All day, the commotion of sinewy, name tossing
horses;
All night, from their cells, the importunate
tramping and neighingI
We spur to n land of no name, out racing the
storm wind;
We leap to the infinite dark, like the sparks from
the anvil;
Thou leadest, o Cod Ais well with thy troopers
that follow.

The Genevese have one holiday sacred
to the firecracker and the small boy. 1t
is the 10th day of December. On that day
sixteen hundred and something this is not
a history the Savoyards planned a night
attack on Geneva. The soldiers were ST.
lently scaling the walls to surprise the
garrison when they were discovered by
an old woman, who was cooking the food
for the camp. AS she gave the alarm she
emptied the pot of hot soup and vegeta-
bles on the heads of the foremost soldiers,
who, naturally Disconnected at the I'M
usual mode of attack, retreated from the
shower of grease, and the city was saved.

Tribute to Daniel Webster.

Tender he was: what father ever sor-
rowed more deeply as his children, one
by one, left his side to lie under the
daisies of Marshfield by the moaning
waves of the gray Atlantic? What man
of affairs ever displayed such pathetic re-
gret for the lost partner of his youth?
What man of the world, when allusion
was made by a stranger to his brother
buried across the seas, gave such tears to
his memoryp Yes, he was a nan of pure
sentiments, of deep and sincere emotions.
His love went out to nature likewise; the
cattle of the field were among his friends;
the sunset, the verdure of May, the sad
russell of October, all appealed to his
hearts. G. w. Benjamin in Magazine
of American History.

Mr.. Seward and Mr.. Summer antici-
pated that large emu would accrue
to the United States from its Alaska pur-
chase, and enumerated many of the
sources from which they thought they
would be derived, no one of which, how
ever, has yielded a cent; while the seal
fisheries, which they knew nothing of,
have been a constant source of income,
They nave been made SO only by strictly
limiting the number of seals to be killed
every year, and, after that, protecting
them from unauthorized slaughter. But
it is no easy matter to watch a body of
water as large as Behring sea, and the
profits of illegitimate killing are SO great
that it is scarcely surprising to read in
Treasury Agent Tingle's report an esti-
mate that no less than so, 900 skins have
been taken by marauders this year, of
which $500 have been seized by the
United States revenue officers. AS the
number of good skins taken by the lessee
this year was only 100, 900, it will be
seen to what proportions this illegitimate
killing of seals has grown.-Frank Les

Flies observed in the wards of con-
sumptive hospitals around the sputa of the
patients have been caught and placed in
a bell jar. On the following day several
were dead. Examination of the inside
of the jar showed the presence of many
tubercle bacilli, which is believed to be
the cause of consumption. The observers
point out the wide dissemination of the
disease which may take place in this way
and recommend as a preventive the em-
ployment of spittoOn covers with a small
opening. A much more effective safeguard
would be the prompt disinfection or de-
%struction of the puta.-Chicago News.

The season Of eating whale meat is
probably over until late in August, when
whaling begins again. That is a dish
that is peculiar to itself and beyond de-
scription. In some respects its flavor is
similar to venison, but the meat is almost
black and not as appetizing in appearance.
1t is made upinto "whale meat balls" by
being chopped fine and mixed with a
little salt pork, then favored with sage,
savory and pepper. Steaks are some
times cut off for broiling, or stews may
be made. The black skin of the whale
is also eaten sometimes by picking it in
vinegar. For this pieces from the lip are
usually reserved.-Cor. Chicago Times.

PAUL II. HAYNE.

A murmur as of far OF mufIled bells,
Goes family soughing through the shivering
pines:
The thrill as of a thousand kissed farewells
Stirs into tremors all the dropping vines;
The trailing muscadines
Forget to take their autumn splendor on,
And wiring their hands with gesture of de
spair
Athwart the spicy air,
Because the voice that sang to them is gone.
The clouds dissolve themselves in pallid mist
That clings like cere cloths. In the southern
breeze
All gladness dies, by solemn memories whist;
The patter of the rain amid the trees
Is like the moan of seas
After the wreck. And all this silence shed
Ger nature, like a ~diapason pause.

An Exhibition of Postage Stamps.

An international exhibition of postage
stamps is now in progress at Anvers, says
a foreign exchange. One exhibitor, a
Mr.. De Beer, has alone sent thither
1000, 900 stamps. Among the varieties
to be seen at the exhibition is the oldest
postage stamp in existence, belonging to
the Eighteenth century, and a postal
card that made the tour of the world in
ninety days. The latter belongs to a
HARLEM schoolmaster, who would not
part with it at any price.
1t seems that there are no less than
600, 900 postage stamp collectors in the
world, 375, 900 of whom are Americans,
200, 900 are Europeans and 25, 900 belong
to other parts of the world.-Scientific

A new method of obtaining data for
estimating the effects of heredity has
been recently devised. Starting from a
brood of a single pair of moths, Francis
Gallon proposes to trace the changes of
some one characteristic, such as length of
wing, during several successive genera
tons. In each generation three lines of
descent, those of shortest, longest and
medium length of wing, will be con-
trasted.-Chicago Times.

S~ixty-one women in all have made the
ascent of Mont Blanc. THE fact is tes-
tifed," says n correspondent of Galignani,
''by the antique register r~eligiously kept
at the office of the guides at ChamoniN,
as everybody may see for himself. The
book is a more faithful record than one
might expect. Just as o n some i'll fated
precipice on the Alps a wooden cross
marks the spot where a too adventurous
climber has met his death, so here a
lugubrious cross is set against the name
of every victim who has failed to reach
his journeys end, and the oft recurring
formula, 'Requiescat i'll pace, may per
haps account for the reluctance with
which the book is shown to intending ex-
cursionists.
THE first female ascent of the giant of
the Alps was made by two French women,
one of aristocratic and the other of pie
beian birth. Their example was quickly
followed in after seasons, and in the end
the record stands as follows; English
women, 32; French women Is; Russian
women, A; American women, 3; Swiss
women, 2, and Prussian, Danish, Hun
garian, Italian and Austrian, 1 each.
Eleven of these ladies accompanied their
husbands. The mania for making a~scents,
through evil n good report, has this
year been rather conspicuous, the excur-
sions to the summit having numbered
thirty-nine as against sn average of
eleven. The French on this occasion
have taken the lead, followed not very
closely by Englishmen and English
women, and still further off by Ameri-
cans and Germans. Most Of the French
who nave ventured forth to the summit
are members of the Alpine club, while
those Of other nationalities depend for the
most part upon their own resources or the
counsel of puides. Pail Mall GaZptte.

THE JAPAN.
A Vertical Shaft to be Sunk to tn
400. Foot Level.

4OO.Coot Level.
Judge Mcbride returned to Salt
Lake City to-day. after spending three
or four days here, looking over the
Japan mine property, in which he is
heavily interested. He says that the
next move will probably be to sink a
shaft down IS feet below the tunnel
level. BY this means depth of about
400 feet will be attained. There are
two veins in the property-the one
the Chief OF the Hill, the other the
Japan ledge. These como together
in depth, as although over 200 feet
apart on the surface, they are not
over 80 feet apart on the tunnel.
Where they unite Is the point where
the bonansa is expected, as both
lodges carry punches and kidneys OF
rich ore above.
The Japan company has expended
over $4,000 on the property, and
proposes to keep at it until q mine is
shown up.

The Reason Why They Did Not TAX
Hold on the Gold Belt.

The Reason Why They Did Not Take
Hold on the Gold Belt.
Messrs. Branagan and Cleveland,
who came from Butte, Montana, about
\ week ago to look at a Gold Belt
claim, returned home yesterday with
out accomplishing anything. After
thoroughly examining and sampling
the claim, they agreed to the price-
S3O,OOO-and offered to bond it Tor
10 months, agreeing to expend at
least $4,000 in development work in
the meantime. All this was agreed
to as satisfactory to both sides; but
the claim owners then insisted on
$4,000 to $4,000 being paid in cash
within 90 days, and this broke the
deal.
While the claim owners cannot be
blamed for holding stifHy to their
property, it is regrettsble that Messrs.
Branagan and Cleveland did not get
a foothold here, as they are practical
miners, and have abundant means to
put through any scheme that they un-
dertake.

THE TALIAFERRO SYSTEM.
4 New Way Of Keeping Accounts which
Is Growing In Favor.

IS growing In Favofs
The Taliaferro coupon system of
bookkeeping is rapidly being adopted
throughout the United States. This
system consists in supplying custom
ers with credit books. These books
contain a number of one and FIVE
cent. coupons aggregating q total of
either IS or $40, and the customer is
furnished with book which is charged
to his account. After that any article
he may purchase is paid for at once
in the necessary coupons, and men,
orandum of the article made in the
back of the book. This ends the
transaction. The merchant has no
small charges to make upon his books
and the customer is never in doubt
about his account. His bill is always
before his eyes, and mistakes are ut.
terly impossible.
The system is growing in popular
ity, and a few months hence it will
probably be in general use.
Who will be the first to introduce
it in HALEY?
